16S ribosomal DNA sequence identities of beta-proteobacterial endosymbionts in three Crithidia species.

The 16S ribosomal DNA sequences of endosymbionts from the trypanosomatid protozoa (Crithidia spp.) are most homologous to that of Bordetella spp. This finding extends the polyphyletic origin of endosymbionts for the first time to the beta Proteobacteria. Biased base transitions and compensatory mutations of the symbionts' sequences that may contribute to their identity in the three Crithidia spp. are noted.     

Protection of transforming growth factor β activity by heparin and fucoidan

The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family of proteins exert diverse and potent effects on proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis. However, relatively little is known about the stability or processing of endogenous TGF-β activity in vitro or in vivo. Our previous work indicated that (1) TGF-β1 has strong heparin-binding properties that were not previously recognized because of neutralization by iodination, and (2) heparin, and certain other polyanions, could block the binding of TGF-β1 to α₂-macroglobulin (α₂-M). The present studies investigated the influence of heparin-like molecules on the stability of the TGF-β1 signal in the pericellular environment. The results indicate that heparin and fucoidan, a naturally occurring sulfated L-fucose polymer, suppress the formation of an initial non-covalent interaction between ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1 and activated α₂-M. Electrophoresis of ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1 showed that fucoidan protects TGF-β1 from proteolytic degradation by plasmin and trypsin. While plasmin caused little, if any, activation of latent TGF-β derived from vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), plasmin degraded acid-activated TGF-β, and purified TGF-β1, and this degradation was inhibited by fucoidan. In vitro, heparin and fucoidan tripled the half-life of ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1 and doubled the amount of cell-associated ₁₂₅I-TGF-β1. Consistent with this protective effect, heparin- and fucoidan-treated SMC demonstrated elevated levels of active, but not latent, TGF-β activity. © 1994 wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Reaction mechanism of isomaltooligosaccharides synthesis by α-glucosidase fromAspergillus carbonarious

Summary An -glucosidase fromAspergillus carbonarious CCRC 30414 was employed for investigating the enzymatic synthesis of isomaltooligosaccharides from maltose. The enzyme transferred a glucose unit from the nonreducing end of maltose and other -linked glucosyl oligosaccharides to glucose and other glucosyl oligosaccharides which function as accepting co-substrates. The transfer of a glucose unit occurs most frequently to the 6-OH position of the nonreducing end of acceptor, but transfer to 4-OH position also occurs. Treatment of 30 % (w/v) maltose with the enzyme under optimum conditions afforded more than 50% isomaltooligosaccharides.     

毛叶香茶菜素的结构订正

我们从安徽省黄山产的大萼香茶菜（Ｒａｂｄｏｓｉａｍａｃｒｏｃａｌｙｘ（Ｄｕｎｎ）Ｈａｒａ）中分得一结晶,其元素分析和１３Ｃ－ＮＭＲ与毛叶香茶菜素［１］完全一致,故推定为毛叶香茶菜素,根据该结晶的元素分析,ＭＳ、ＮＭＲ、ＣＯＳＹ和ＮＯＥＳＹ等光谱数据,其结构应订正为（２）。表１表明：毛叶香茶菜素（２）的分子式由元素分析和高分辨质谱确定为Ｃ２４Ｈ３６Ｏ９,毛叶香茶菜素（１）的分子式由元素分析也应确定为Ｃ２４Ｈ３６Ｏ９。由于赵治清等误将质谱中Ｍ＋－Ｈ２Ｏ碎片离子峰ｍ／ｚ４５０当作分子离子峰（毛叶香茶菜…     

Effect of plant genotype on the transformation of cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

The trait for somatic embryogenesis is being introduced sexually into alfalfa (Medicago sativa) breeding populations to facilitate genetic transformation of this crop. Cocultivation experiments were conducted with an agronomically-improved embryogenic clone from one such population as well as with two other embryogenic clones, one of which was the source of the embryogenic trait in the breeding populations. Transgenic plants were produced from the agronomically-improved clone whereas none were produced from the other two clones. Among the 16 transgenic plants analyzed there was a range in both copy number and number of integration sites for the NPT-II gene; those plants regenerated after a prolonged selection phase in vitro generally had the highest numbers in both respects. There was no evidence of sectoral chimerism of the transgene in a subsample of transgenic plants analyzed by PCR.     

Homology models of two isozymes of manganese peroxidase: Prediction of a Mn(II) binding site

The three-dimensional structures of two isozymes of manganese peroxidase (MnP) have been predicted from homology modeling using lignin peroxidase as a template. Although highly homologous, MnP differs from LiP by the requirement of Mn(II) as an intermediate in its oxidation of substrates. The Mn(II) site is absent in LiP and unique to the MnP family of peroxidases. The model structures were used to identify the unique Mn(II) binding sites, to determine to what extent they were conserved in the two isozymes, and to provide insight into why this site is absent in LiP. For each isozyme of MnP, three candidate Mn(II) binding sites were identified. Energy optimizations of the three possible Mn(II) enzyme complexes allowed the selection of the most favorable Mn(II) binding site as one with the most anionic oxygen moieties best configured to act as ligands for the Mn(II). At the preferred site, the Mn(II) is coordinated to the carboxyl oxygens of Glu-35, Glu-39, and Asp-179, and a propionate group of the heme. The predicted Mn(II) binding site is conserved in both isozymes. Comparison between the residues at this site in MnP and the corresponding residues in LiP shows that two of the three anionic residues in MnP are replaced by neutral residues in LiP, explaining why LiP does not bind Mn(II). © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
